Pizza 4P’s

Delivering Wow, Sharing Happiness

Pizza 4P’s is a Vietnam-based Japanese run Italian pizza restaurant that serves Neapolitan pizza in three Vietnamese cities including Hanoi.

Neapolitan pizza in Vietnam? Yep, after eating some of the best pizza in Naples, Caiazzo and New York, we were skeptical too – until we took our first blissful bite.

Burrata Pizza at Pizza 4P's in Hanoi Vietnam
Good pizza is a luxury food in Hanoi. We ate this beautiful pie with burrata, parma ham and tomatoes at Pizza 4P’s.
Beyond its impeccable service and open kitchen concept, 4P’s serves pizzas that expertly blend Neapolitan techniques with Vietnamese ingredients.

Yosuke and Sanae Masuko, the pizza chain’s Japanese owners, have introduced a farm to table concept that shines brightest with their housemade burrata. But the Japanese perfectionists don’t stop there. They even make their own chili sauce.

Eating Neapolitan pizza with the best Vietnamese ingredients is a luxury, with a pizza at 4P’s easily costing ten times the cost of a bowl of Pho. However, when it comes to value, 4P’s delivers.

Pizza 4P’s has multiple locations in Hanoi. We recommend the Old Quarter location at Hàng Trống, Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi, Vietnam.

S&L’s Diner

Chicken and Waffles at S&L's Diner in Hanoi Vietnam
Can you eat chicken and waffles in Vietnam? Thanks to S&L’s Diner, yes you can.

We don’t normally consider diner fare to be a splurge, but western food comes at a premium in Hanoi. This is a city where Vietnamese food reigns supreme.

But, let’s face it, there’s only so much Pho that a traveler can eat. If you stay in Hanoi long enough, you will eventually crave familiar foods like burgers and fries. It’s inevitable.

Pro Tip
This diner is open nightly until midnight, making it a great western way to start or end a night on the town in Hanoi.

Owned by American ex-pat Steven Kackerski originally from the Philadelphia area, S&L’s Diner has a menu filled with American comfort food favorites like chicken & waffles and macaroni & cheese. For the ultimate splurge, diners can wash their meals down with American-style milkshakes.

S&L’s Diner is located at 22 Phố Báo Khánh, Hàng Trống, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, Vietnam.

Maison Marou Hanoi

Similar to the flagship Saigon location, Hanoi’s Maison Marou serves a variety of sophisticated pastries and beverages. Featuring the company’s farm-to-bar chocolate, these pastries and drinks are exquisitely composed and bursting with chocolate.

Popular items include the signature chocolate tart and Paris-Saigon, a chocolate take on the French Paris-Brest. These pastries honor the best Paris pastries but with a local stamp.

Chocolate Egg Cream at Maison Marou in Hanoi Vietnam
The chocolate egg cream at Maison Marou may be the most decadent drink in the world.

Though you can’t make a bad selection at Maison Marou, we must insist that you order a chocolate egg cream. After sharing three on three separate visits, we affectionately nicknamed them egg coffees on steroids. To say we love this drink is an understatement.

Maison Marou Hanoi is located at 91A Thợ Nhuộm, Trần Hưng Đạo, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, Vietnam.

Hanoi Drinks

Hanoi Drinks
Hanoi is a city where beer and soda peacefully co-exist.

Drinks are an integral part of life in Hanoi since it’s important to stay hydrated in the city’s hot climate. Our Hanoi drinks of choice skew toward the local Hanoi beer (Bia Ha Noi) and an old standby (Coca Cola).

As beer drinkers, we’re happy to see a burgeoning craft beer scene in Hanoi with new beers like Saigon’s Pasteur Street sprouting up in the city. Sometimes, though, we want something different.

These are our favorite places to drink in Hanoi:

Hanoi Coffee Shops

Cappuccino at Kafeville in Hanoi Vietnam
Hanoi has embraced the global coffee movement at cafes like Kafeville.

We always seek out coffee shops when we travel, both for the caffeinated elixir as well as for workspaces with wi-fi. Seeking the best cafe in Hanoi was no exception.

Though we weren’t sure what to expect in Hanoi in this regard, we found a thriving coffee scene with a wide range of coffee shops serving both traditional Vietnamese coffee drinks with sweetened condensed milk and western coffee drinks with espresso and steamed fresh milk.

Exploring Hanoi coffee shops is fun. Some cafes are hidden, some double as art galleries and others serve their coffee with a view.

Kafeville
Dunking at Kafeville in Hanoi Vietnam
Are you a dunker or a dipper? Either way, you will love the coffee at Hanoi’s Kafeville.

Kafeville was our favorite coffee shop in Hanoi for both drinking and working before it relocated. Beyond the high quality of the coffee itself, Kafeville was also a great spot to work at a table or chillax. The staff was both professional and friendly, internet was fast and the latte art was photo-worthy.

Update
Kafeville moved to a new location. Though Kafeville still features beans from around the world including countries in Africa and South America as well as locally sourced Vietnamese beans, the new location is not as cozy or convenient as its original location.

Kafeville is located at 1 Bắc Sơn, Ngọc Hồ, Ba Đình, Hà Nội, Vietnam.

Haka Coffee
Haka Coffee in Hanoi Vietnam
in addition to serving third wave coffee, Haka also sells beans to brew at home.

** Important Update – Haka Coffee has permanently closed. **

Situated across from Hoan Kiem Lake, renovated Haka Coffee serves third wave coffee drinks in a comfortable space with plenty of seating and free internet.

Prices are higher here compared to other coffee shops, perhaps due to the cafe’s prime location. At least the drinks are generously sized, which helps justify the higher prices.

Haka Coffee was located at 39 Hàng Dầu, Hà Nội, Lý Thái Tổ, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, Vietnam. It has permanently closed.
